About this listen

Cumbria, 1967. Grieving the loss of her son, Cordelia Hemlock is in a village graveyard when lightning strikes a tumbledown tomb - and gives her a glimpse of a new corpse that doesn't belong among the crumbling bones. But when the body vanishes, the authorities refuse to believe some hysterical outsider.

Cordelia persuades Felicity Goose, the only other person to have seen the corpse, to join her investigation. But the villagers don't take kindly to their interference. There are those who believe the village's secrets should remain buried...whatever the cost.

The burying ground

The story being told alternatively by the two main characters worked really well as a device. David Mark is no stranger to strong female characters! The entwining of so many lives across continents and time was managed so skilfully, the pace was quick but not so hurried that the reader and indeed characters had time for reflection. Not in a navel contemplation mode, but in a matter of fact “reflection in action” mode, which better suited the story. David Mark has not disappointed.
